BBC World Service - Newshour, Pompeo criticised for Republican National Convention speech

The US Secretary of State has been accused of abusing his position for political purposes

The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has been accused of abusing his position for political purposes.

Mike Pompeo addressed the Republican National Convention in a video recorded during an official visit to Jerusalem. Critics say he breached state department rules regarding the separation between domestic politics and international diplomacy. Also: a new British study has found that blanket recommendations on social distancing need a rethink; and a microbe known as Conan the Bacterium survived three years in space.
